Conor McGregor opens the door to fighting Jake Paul, KSI and Tommy Fury

CONOR McGREGOR has sensationally opened the door to fighting Jake Paul, KSI, and Tommy Fury – calling the trio "NERDS." McGregor has been called out by all three celebrity boxing stars but the UFC legend has always distanced himself from the crossover bouts.

Change of Heart

But now it appears he has had a change of heart when probed on a move back to boxing and picked KSI as the best of the bunch to fight. He told SneekPeakTV: "Yeah you know, the YouTube nerds could be like, I would consider that a nixer. Your Uncle’s friend needs a f****** radiator fitted in his house, so you’ll do a side job, and get side pay. I would consider them guys to be nixers. If I was to pick one out of them, I would say KSI, he has a big name in the U.K."

McGregor's Tease

McGregor in 2017 put aside his MMA career to cross over to boxing to face American icon Floyd Mayweather, losing in ten rounds. But due to his current UFC contract, which has two bouts remaining on it, the Irishman is prohibited from another boxing switch.

Challenges from Paul and Fury

Although that has not stopped Paul from continuing to call McGregor out. Meanwhile, Fury, who has beaten both Paul and KSI, became the latest to challenge the MMA great following news of Tyson's shock comeback. McGregor remains linked with a return against Michael Chandler, 37, despite growing frustrated as talks drag.

Future Boxing Plans

McGregor has further teased another go at boxing as he concluded: "I’m open to it. I’ll never say no, I’ll never say no." Jake Paul has long called to fight McGregor, and both KSI and Tommy Fury have also called out the UFC star.
